"Mommy Master~ are we going to live here from now on?"
Little Ayao opened her big, dark, watery eyes, curiously looking at the unfamiliar group of palaces around her.
"Yes... we'll live here from now on."
Gu Han sighed, attempting a final struggle,
"Also, just call me Master. You don't need to add those last two words."
"Oh..."
A Yao nodded as if she understood, and then replied in a milky voice:
"Got it, Master Mommy!"
Gu Han: "..."
Forget it, let her be.
Why bother arguing with a little one whose memories are missing and whose intelligence has regressed to that of a young child?
She carried A Yao and walked into the vast and grand Main Hall.
Inside the hall, white jade served as pillars, colored glass paved the floor, and the dome hung high above. There was a star-like spiritual light flowing on its own, truly showing an immortal household's atmosphere.
However, it was currently empty, with only a Cloud Bed at the very top that looked simple but actually contained Dao charm.
Placing Little Ayao on the Cloud Bed, it automatically adjusted its shape, becoming more suitable for the little one to sit or lie down.
A Yao curiously rolled around on the soft Cloud Bed, letting out a cheerful giggle.
Looking at this pure and innocent little one whose potential was off the charts.
The awkwardness Gu Han felt from being mistaken for a "Mommy" gradually transformed into a sense of responsibility.
Since she had woken her up by chance and received the System's evaluation of "peerless immortal seed," then this was their destiny.
She composed herself, her expression becoming formal and gentle, as she spoke to Little Ayao, who was playing with her own hair:
"A Yao."
"Hmm?"
Little Ayao looked up, her big eyes gazing at her with purity.
"Since you have entered my sect, you are the eldest Disciple of my Yaochi Immortal Palace."
"Today, I officially accept you as my Disciple and pass on the supreme Dao laws to you, leading you to re-ascend the Immortal Path. Are you willing?"
Gu Han's voice was clear and carried a hint of unquestionable majesty, echoing through the empty hall.
Although Little Ayao didn't quite understand what "eldest Disciple" or "Immortal Path" specifically meant.
She could feel the solemnity and kindness in Gu Han's words.
She nodded her little head vigorously and replied crisply:
"I am! A Yao is willing to follow Master Mommy!"
[Ding! Host has recruited the first Disciple (A Yao)!]
[Aptitude assessment: Beyond ten stars, meets the conditions!]
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the "peerless immortal seed" gift pack!]
[Gift pack contents being distributed...]
A series of System notification sounds rang out at the right time, lifting Gu Han's spirits!
Here it comes!
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 'nine heavens breathing soil' (Innate spiritual item, a supreme Materials for reconstructing the Physical Body)!]
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 'Primordial Essence Liquid' (can nourish the Divine Soul and perfectly integrate with the Physical Body)!]
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the "Primal Chaos Immortal Scripture" (matches this Disciple's Innate Foundation)!]
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 500,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.]
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining mastery value: 10,000 points (can be used to purchase items in the System mall).]
The series of reward notifications left Gu Han dazzled.
Not only did it provide the Materials for reconstructing the Physical Body, but it even prepared the matching Cultivation Technique and starting funds!
She immediately took out the two glowing treasures from the System space.
nine heavens breathing soil:
Only a handful of earthy yellow soil the size of a fist, yet it was as heavy as a mountain, with nine-colored brilliance flowing on its surface, as if containing infinite mysteries.
Primordial Essence Liquid:
Contained in a jade purification bottle, there were only three drops. Each drop shimmered with a hazy glow, emitting a mysterious aura.
The problem now was, how to operate it?
Although she had a cultivation base, she had absolutely no experience with such a high-end operation as reconstructing a Physical Body.
"System, how do I shape this Physical Body? Is there an instruction manual?"
[The Host only needs to use Divine Sense to guide and shape the 'nine heavens breathing soil' into the ideal form, then drip the 'Primordial Essence Liquid' into it, and finally lead the target in.]
"Ideal form..."
Gu Han looked at the ignorant Little Ayao, then at her own body, and rubbed her chin.
"Then let's follow her current appearance. Being younger makes her easier to teach."
Gu Han followed the System's guidance, carefully wrapping that lump of nine heavens breathing soil with her Divine Sense.
Under the touch of her Divine Sense, this legendary Innate spiritual item trembled slightly, emitting a gentle yet heavy vibration.
She concentrated, beginning to outline A Yao's Physical Body form in her mind.
As her thoughts turned, that lump of nine heavens breathing soil seemed to gain life, slowly flowing and deforming.
First, it outlined the contour of a small head, followed by a slender neck, a small torso, and limbs.
Details, such as the rounded cheeks, the slightly curled fingers, and even the embryonic form of the long, thick eyelashes.
All were presented bit by bit under Gu Han's powerful Divine Sense micro-manipulation.
The entire process lasted for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
When the last detail was completed, an earthy yellow "Clay Doll" identical to A Yao floated in mid-air.
Although the color and material were completely different, the facial features and body proportions were already another A Yao.
Except her eyes were tightly closed, and she was devoid of Life Qi.
"Next is the Primordial Essence Liquid."
Gu Han picked up the jade purification bottle and pulled out the stopper.
Immediately, an indescribable fresh aura filled the air, as if containing the original Origin power of life.
She guided out a drop of Primordial Essence Liquid. That drop of liquid was like mercury with its own consciousness.
Shimmering with a light like the beginning of Chaos, it accurately dripped onto the "Clay Doll's" brow.
Buzz—!
The moment the Primordial Essence Liquid integrated, the shell shaped by the nine heavens breathing soil erupted with brilliant nine-colored radiance!
The originally earthy yellow body quickly became lustrous, its color changing towards that of normal human skin, and blood vessels and meridians seemed to be generating and extending on their own beneath the skin.
A majestic vitality emanated from this newborn body.
"A Yao, now is the time, go in!"
Gu Han immediately said to the little immortal soul watching curiously nearby.
Although A Yao was ignorant, she instinctively felt the attraction that body had for her.
She gave an "un" sound, turned into a streak of light, and plunged into that newborn shell.
The light gradually withdrew, and that small body floating in the air slowly landed on the ground.
Her skin was fair and rosy, as delicate as a baby's, and a head of black, soft hair fell naturally.
She lay there quietly, her chest rising and falling slightly with her breath, as if she were just asleep.
Gu Han held her breath and watched tensely.
She could feel that A Yao's immortal soul was perfectly merging with this newly shaped body.
This process seemed peaceful, but it was actually crucial and could not tolerate any disturbance.
A moment later, those long eyelashes trembled a few times like butterfly wings.
Then, those big eyes, as pure as black gems, slowly opened.
The initial confusion quickly faded, replaced by an unprecedented agility and vividness.
She blinked, raised her small hands to look at them curiously, then moved her toes, her face showing an expression of novelty and joy.
"Master Mommy!"
She called out, her voice more real and crisp than when she was in her immortal soul state, carrying the soft sweetness unique to children,
"A Yao... feels so comfortable! It's warm!"
She tried to stand up, swaying a bit at first, but quickly stabilized.
This Physical Body, shaped by nine heavens breathing soil and Primordial Essence Liquid, perfectly matched her fragmented immortal soul.
Not only was the Foundation incredibly stable, but she was also naturally close to the Great Dao, and her perception of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was sharp to the extreme.
Looking at this eldest Disciple who had found new life, the heavy stone in Gu Han's heart fell, and at the same time, a sense of accomplishment welled up.
This was a Disciple she had personally "created," a peerless immortal seed with potential beyond ten stars!
"It's good that you're comfortable."
A heartfelt smile appeared on Gu Han's face. She crouched down and touched the top of A Yao's soft hair,
"From now on, this is your own body. Come, try this."
With a thought, she passed the "Primal Chaos Immortal Scripture" into A Yao's Sea of Consciousness through the System.
The grade of the Cultivation Technique was at the Immortal Grade, incredibly profound.
The System's method of teaching was gentle and direct, transforming into simple words and Visualization Diagrams that A Yao could understand.
A Yao quickly received the Cultivation Technique information, and a flash of realization crossed her big eyes.
She instinctively followed the guidance in the Cultivation Technique, sitting cross-legged with her five centers facing the sky, attempting her first cultivation.
The moment she entered meditation, the Spiritual Qi of the entire Yaochi Immortal Palace fluctuated slightly!
Centered on her small body, a Spiritual Qi vortex formed, and a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged into her body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.
Time passed bit by bit.
A Yao's body seemed like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing this Spiritual Qi.
Gu Han watched from the side, secretly clicking her tongue in amazement.
Is this the terror of a beyond ten-star Genius?
The commotion caused by her first time Drawing Qi into the Body was comparable to an ordinary Cultivator's Foundation Establishment!
And looking at her absorption speed and conversion efficiency, it was simply inconceivable.
[Ding! Disciple A Yao has successfully stepped into the first layer of the Qi Refinement Stage!]
[Ding! Disciple A Yao has successfully stepped into the second layer of the Qi Refinement Stage!]
[Ding! Disciple A Yao has successfully stepped into the third layer of the Qi Refinement Stage!]
[Ding!...]
Every so often, the System's notification sound would ring in Gu Han's mind.
